That seems hard to manage if you have data upgrades. For example, a new version adds new data fields, obsoleting old ones. If you don't renew, you have to revert to a version from 12 months ago? That version doesn't support the new data fields, only the old ones, which no longer exist. Or maybe I don't get it.
- cpburns2009 4y agoIf you pay the subscription yearly, it makes sense, though it's not completely ideal. You get a fallback license for the version at the time you paid for the year. The monthly subscription complicates this because someone could game the fallback license scheme if you were immediately granted a fallback license (e.g., you only subscribe for 1 month every year). This is why I think JetBrains updates the fallback license every 12 consecutive months. The monthly subscription acts equivalent to that of the yearly. Ideally, yes, it would be nice if the fallback license was effective from when your subscription ended rather than the last yearly renewal.
